Jeff talks about the new streets in Topeka, and where that funding came from.
As your Topeka City Councilman and Deputy Mayor of Topeka, I promised to listen to you.
You said Get the City Out of the Heartland Park Debacle
I voted against issuing the Star Bonds and the City’s attempt to buy Heartland Park failed.
You said FIX MORE STREETS AND POTHOLES
I was the only council person to ask the city for more street funding and added $2 Million in new street funding for budget years 2017, 2018 and 2019. (Topeka Budget Page 4)
You said you wanted SAFER STREETS and NEIGHBORHOODS
I approved 2 contracts each for the Police and Fire Unions, and voted to adequately fund those departments
each year. Topeka Police reports that crime is going down and Topeka has a public nudity ban.
You said Vote the way WE Want you to Vote
I voted against allowing the Topeka Metro to increase our property taxes earlier this year. I voted against the
2017 utility rate hike and try to stop wasteful City Government spending at every turn.
